Protection of personal data is not only a hot topic in European politics, but also a huge discussion in the corporate sector. On this evening we will have a discussion with our expert panel about the following 3 topics:

EU General Data Protection Regulation: The new EU rules on protection of personal data will bring big changes in our society. But do we want these changes?

Storage of medical data on cloud servers: There is an increase in storage of medical data online, to make this data available at all times. But how well is this medical data protected and to be more precise, protected from whom?

Hacking police: Cyber crime is difficult to deal with. Currently in the Netherlands, there is a proposal to allow the police to hack into computers. But what will this mean for our society if this proposal will be accepted?
